Sat looking at the A55 (the hill down to St Asaph is circled) from the garden to see if I can spot any of you lot on the way….bit of a stretch I know.

I mean if I go through that much fuel something has gone wrong!

Need to go past Bangor to get there anyway, hoping I don’t go through a tank and a 25ltr Jerry can in half a day on track to need topping up mid session!

All done and ready for tomorrow. Let’s hope the Tesco fuel station in Bangor has fuel as the half tank that is currently in it won’t last. Everything just about fits in the boot. Hoping for sunny weather so I can go topless GoPro fitted this time with a tether! Not falling for that again

I’m so glad I only have a 45min along the A55 tomorrow!

I think they are a similar price from memory. I know I paid £1150-ish for a set of BC’s on my Z3 fully fitted and set up and it was a similar price for the B14’s from the same garage.

I’ve got Bilstein B14’s on mine. They are good and do the job well for what I use my car for. But if I were to do it again I’d go for BC Racing coil overs. Had them on my old Ph1 and just had a set fitted to my Z3 and they just feel a lot better.

If this is true I’m bringing my Clio so it can be done. Sod my wedding fund.

Yes and no. It’s a nice road and it used to be a 60mph limit. But it’s very biker heavy at times and there are sheep that wonder on the top of the hill and into the road. But it’s a better drive than going though Coedpoeth if you want to do a nice route. Does that make sense?! If you have the...

If I’ve got your map right you are heading over the Horse Shoe Pass at Llangollen (again a 40mph zone which can have cameras on) and into Ruthin. The Nant Y Garth into Ruthin is very good. But continue to Denbigh and head onto the A453 through Groes to Blychau (start of this will be an average...

If I remember right the bit in your route from C to D and then D back down to the A5 is all average camera now

Small progress on this today. Wrapped some of the wires up for the injectors to tidy it up a bit. This was because I had to move them when fitting the ITBs so more of the wire was outside that little casing. Also wrapped the wires for my radiator fan switch too. Just neatens it up a bit Made...

Ops testing is fun though….haha. Or what I’ve seen is people do code, get it reviewed, I’ve deployed it to a test environment and a smoke test, doesn’t work then I debug it to an error where it would never have compiled so how that dev decided “yep that will do” without even running their code...

This is our rule at work! No Ops deployments on a Friday unless you realllly have to to fix something.

I’ve also go a passenger side drive shaft that came out of my Ph1 172 you are welcome to have. It might have a small knick in the CV gaiter that I glued up to get it to pass an MoT test so it might have some wear in the CV joint but might be a good back up? I can’t remember why I replaced it...

Pricey but amazing, will need to also get a phone specific cradle to screw to this which they also do https://www.brodit.co.uk/brodit/vehicles/renault/clio-ii I've got one on my E34, the girlfriend has one in her Focus and I had one in my old Octavia and they are perfect. No damage to the car...

Asking for a friend before they go and buy this but will this falling into the upbadging nonce category...

Same, I have been using a broom to wrap the clips around and push that under the car to get them to the other side. And when I have been doing them up recently the only way to get them proper tight is to lie on the floor and pull the strap at sull stretch under the car, which again is a pain if...

Dont forget some tracks will want a secodary tether for the camera. I was caught out on this at Angelsey last time out so have bought soem metal cable things that loop around the bolt for the camera to mount and then around the view mirror.

Similar issues with the car cover I used when it gets windy. They have three straps that are behind the front wheels, middle and in front of the rear wheels so the bonnet and boot are a bit loose. I ended up running a ratchet strap over the bonnet of the car to in front of the front wheels and...

I want to install a battery isolator switch to the Clio so I can easily disconnect it for storage and also for track safety. I have had a look and there are some wiring diagrams that make no sense - some say to the negative other say to the positive terminal and I hate wiring (electricty is...

It’s currently forecast to be sunny all day so I’m making the most of being on holiday and going to wash, polish and wax the Z3. The joys of having no neighbours no one can judge me for always washing cars which they did where I used to live. Plus no one will know if I use a hose pipe if we...

I was a bit disappointed with BMW when I bought my brand new M140i. I refused to do the midnight thing as it was the 1st September so they did a little gathering for the new registrations sales at midnight which sounded the worst thing ever. So I picked it up in the morning and it wasn’t in...

Actually what colour is it?

It’s a car that can be worth money if time and effort is put into it. I think the general consensus is that the Ph1 is going to be a good investment. I think I spent about £1500 putting mine back in a drivable condition when I bought it back in 2020 and that was cambelt, dephaser, all new brakes...

Project Clio has been paused following gear box issues. Realistically it will be about 18-24 months before I have the funds to sort this out as my mantra is "whatever comes out new or better goes in" so this means a nice rebuilt gear box, LSD, lightened flywheel and new clutch. And with an...

Definitely did the right order (regardless of what I said just then!), can’t remember what that was but I checked and double checked when I did it. I do use their ceramic sealant after washing as well, although I’ve probably washed the car about 3 times on the past 12 months as it’s barely been...

It’s Gtechniq CSL on top of EXO v3.

The E34 has a ceramic coating so any rain beads o. it really well. Downside is if the rain isn’t removed then it dries and leaves little dust spots all over the car. Saying that all my cars do this as they have various waxes and ceramic sealants on. Is this just the downside of having nice...

I thought the Sports had different ones to fit the bigger wings and bumper?
